Even with an OK 1st line and three 4th lines, we're still good enough to beat the Flames, right? Right?

"If I can be totally honest, it's not a lot of guys you get impressed by. Actually, it's no one else but him. From the bench, to see what move he makes -- you're like, 'I wish I could do that.' Sometimes you sit on the bench and just think, 'wow,' and you look over to the other bench and they sit there and shake their heads, too. He has great, great skills. I'm probably not going to play with another player who has the kind of skills he has." Mikael Samuelsson on Pavel Datsyuk

I hope Tootoo will be in the lineup Saturday vs. the Leafs. He's played well in Grand Rapids so let's showcase him and hopefully he can pop a few of Phaneuf's teeth out. (The first HBO 247 episode showed everyone what a ****** he is. Fashionable? Yeah, big men in tiny bow ties - not a good look. SMH)

I have a feeling Detroit is going to break out tonight. Can't get any worse at home. 5-1?

I was gonna say the same thing. The injuries probably took longer to list than the lines . Nice work as usual Mabus. I think the trainers should look at the injuries and maybe do more agility workouts that focus on strengthening the groin area. Oh well, I'm off to the HHOF, see you guys at game time.

Couldn't agree more. At some point, after 4 straight years of constant injuries, there has to be SOME kind of correlation between what they're doing and how many guys get hurt.

Its been an awful long time since I've been this down on the Wings, but tonight is a great opportunity to turn it all around.
